When choosing where to stay on the Salkantay Trek, it helps to know what to expect. The Eco Majestic Sky Domes offer facilities that go beyond a campsite: each dome is equipped for a comfortable rest, while the lodge features shared spaces designed for travelers. Here is a detailed overview of the facilities and services, so you know exactly what your stay includes.
Inside the dome
Each dome is an enclosed, weather-protected geodesic wooden structure. Inside, you will find a double bed and enough space for your trekking gear. The design keeps the space warm at night, something you will appreciate on a mountain route.
The layout varies depending on the room type:
- Single Room (SW): for 1 person, in a private dome with a double bed.
- Double Room (MT): for 2 people, ideal for couples.
- Triple Room (TW): for 3 people, with a double bed plus an additional bed, designed for families or small groups.
Private bathroom in every dome
One of the features that most sets these domes apart is the bathroom. Each dome has a private bathroom with a shower and hydromassage, so you do not share with other guests or rely on communal showers. Being able to take a hot shower along the route is a major advantage over traditional camping, especially after a day of hiking.
Private terrace
Each dome has its own terrace with a table and chairs. It is a private outdoor space where you can relax, enjoy a drink, and take in the surrounding mountains. It works as an extension of your room, ideal for the afternoon or for admiring the starry sky on clear nights.
Lodge common areas
In addition to the domes, the lodge offers several shared spaces for guests:
- Gardens and green areas: spacious areas to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.
- Kitchen and dining area: shared space for guests.
- Panoramic dining room: with views of the mountains and river.
- Lounge: a space for rest and relaxation.
- Small bar: drinks available for purchase.
- Fire pit and grill area: for enjoying time outdoors.
- Private parking: parking within the lodge.
These spaces make your stay more than just a place to sleep; they provide a place where you can eat, relax, and spend time with other travelers at the end of the day.
Included services
The rate for each dome includes dinner and breakfast. This covers the main meals during your stay, without having to worry about finding somewhere to eat. If you need more, you can request lunch or an additional dinner in advance.
In short, your stay includes:
- Private dome with a double bed.
- Private bathroom with a shower and hydromassage.
